So important! While former Worcester City Manager Mike O’Brien bashed the federal funding program that supports urban neighborhoods and our CDC’s (major recipients of the $), the new folks at City Hall GET IT – appreciate all the good works the funds have underwritten in our city. We need more $$ for our neighborhoods – not less.

Come see all the great homes, all the great neighborhood organizations that exist in our urban neighborhoods BECAUSE OF CDBG money!
